Bearing the cost

I wish she would grow up. She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can. - Lewis, "The Last Battle" - about Susan and how silly she is being, saying that Narnia is for children

    any suggestions? i'm not up on pop fiction at all (i fell in love with 19th century stuff and have been stuck!). I am getting quite a bit 20th century French lit in two of my classes, well, three actually (have I mentioned I hate the french major?)

    Wow, that's a lot of books! Here's a suggestion: cut the list down to 1 or 2, watch TV or go to a few movies instead (much more efficient!), and then enjoy all the extra free time you'll have. If you must stick with books, maybe try a few that are not so orthodox :-)
